Hi @androidfixitguy ,
Are you sure that you got the antenna length correct and if so is it connected correctly? Also with the incorrect length you will not get the signal because the antenna is not "tuned" to the correct frequency.
I cannot find any information on any of the RCA tablets shown on You Tube videos which show the same WiFI antenna connection that you have got setup, i.e. long antenna wire connected at both ends. The ones with a long antenna, have it connected at one end only on the pcb and the other end laid in the case around to the back of the battery and taped down, as also shown in most of the RCA tablet teardowns in this Ifixit link,
RCA Tablet
The ones with a short antenna do have it connected at both ends as shown in the image below taken from an Ifixit repair guide, for a RCA Voyager II which shows how the antenna is connected and also its' length.

What is really weird is that your board looks the same but different to the board in the image in this answer. For a start there is no copper? terminal strip next to the antenna connection on your board whereas there is in the other picture. Which may be right as yours is a Voyager model and not a Voyager II.
What is the full model number of your Voyager?
Hi @androidfixitguy,
Perhaps I wasn't clear when I said 2 wires. Sorry if I'm wrong but I meant that the WiFi antenna cable has 2 wires in it. The centre wire as the antenna and the outer layer as the shield.
If it is only has the one wire in the cable (make sure that there is no braided layer wrapped around under the cable sheath) I would follow @pccheese advice and try it and also clean up the circuit board connections. See the yellow circle in image. It seems as though there are 2 connection points there. I think that it should be the one on the left as shown but not as it appears touching the one on the right.
In the original photo you posted why did you connect it to the point shown by green/red box and then connect it to the red box if it was a long wire?

To my mind it should either be a short wire between the red/green boxes as per the first image above or a long wire from the yellow circle but only the one connection point
